Probing Synechocystis-arsenic interactions through extracellular nanowires
Microbial nanowires (MNWs) can play an important role in the transformation and mobility of toxic metals/metalloids in environment. The potential role of MNWs in cell-arsenic (As) interactions has not been reported in microorganisms and thus we explored ...

Photophobotaxis of single‐celled and filamentous cyanobacteria
LED illumination from below induces central accumulation of cyanobacterial species. Abstract Phototaxis refers to an organism's movement toward a light source, while photophobotaxis involves movement into illuminated regions. Although phototaxis in cyanobacteria has been widely studied, photophobotaxis has been investigated in only a few species.

Improper Localization of the OmcS Cytochrome May Explain the Inability of thexapD-Deficient Mutant ofGeobacter sulfurreducensto Reduce Fe(III) Oxide [PDF]
Extracellular electron transfer through a redox-active exopolysaccharide matrix has been proposed as a strategy for extracellular electron transfer to Fe(III) oxide byGeobacter sulfurreducens,based on the phenotype of axapD-deficient strain.

Microbial interspecies interactions: recent findings in syntrophic consortia
Microbes are ubiquitous in our biosphere, and inevitably live in communities. They excrete a variety of metabolites and support the growth of other microbes in a community.

Cystitis in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus): Clinical findings and treatment outcomes
Abstract Background This retrospective study examined the incidence, diagnostic methods, bacterial isolates, treatments and outcomes associated with cystitis in guinea pigs presented at a single clinic between 2009 and 2022. Methods The clinic's medical records database was reviewed using easyvet software to identify cases eligible for inclusion in the

Abstract Postmortem decomposition changes of bodies in aquatic environments may offer valuable insights into the postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) for medicolegal death investigators. However, the effects of immersion on the onset of such changes are poorly understood.

Lack of Cytochrome Involvement in Long-range Electron Transport through Conductive Biofilms and Nanowires of Geobacter Sulfurreducens [PDF]
Two competing models for long-range electron transport through the conductive biofilms and nanowires of Geobacter sulfurreducens exist. In one model electrons are transported via pili that possess delocalized electronic states to function as protein ...
